Almost every night I write down the things that I prayed for that day. I've been doing this all year. So it's been like 10 days... . I looked at the first day a few nights ago and already the prayers I had written on day one were answered. So then I got to thinking. What if every prayer I write down in this journal got answered? Like it's some kind of "magic" journal. I though to myself... the pages are pretty small and there's only enough room for a few sentences for each day so I better not waste any space on stupid prayers. I better use this journal for the big stuff only. Let's see... I could pray for the economy. I could pray to end hunger, homelessness, or disease. I could pray for world peace. I mean I could really make a difference in this world with my "magic" journal.
But I didn't pray for any of those noble causes. When it came down to it I ended up writing the names of some people closest to me. Next to their names I wrote what I wanted God to do for them.
I guess the people around me mean more to me than I realized. I thought saving the world might be at the top of my list. Maybe it is. Maybe my world is just smaller than I thought.
Of course I don't have a "magic" journal. That's crazy.
I am Adam. You've been blogged.

Wow, now your talking. Now if you could only fix that static in your car radio, life would be perfect...NOT! Sometimes big things come in small packages, wouldn't you agree? You can never trust what your eyes see vs. what truly is because we often see simply what we want to see.
